Lesson plan

Pre-tasks

1. Let students brainstorm various types of crimes.

2. Tell students that they're gonna see dumb criminals in action. Let them guess which crime they will see in the short film.

3. Watch the video in whole (without the quiz - select the first play mode).

Follow-up tasks

1. Have students work in pairs and collect, then write down all the stupid things that the robbers did during the heist (=robbery).

2. DISCUSSION: Let the class discuss the discussion questions in pairs. After the pairwork, get some of the students share with the whole class.

3. WRITING or ROLE PLAY: Have the swat team leader explain to his superior(s) (=bosses) why they failed to capture the other robber. It can either be a role play or a writing task.

4. VOCABULARY BOOSTING: You can have students fill in the blanks in this worksheet: https://en.islcollective.com/resources/printables/worksheets_doc_docx/grocery_store_robbery_-_fill_in_the_blanks/crime-law-and/100353 It's a newsflash about a grocery store robbery.

5. WRITING: Use the worksheet above or the raw story (article + video: http://www.fox5atlanta.com/news/252439818-story ) to provide an example of a newsflash about a robbery. Then get students to write a similar newsflash about the robbery seen in the short film. Encourage them to borrow as many phrases from the newsflash as they wish.
